Mike Johnson of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwinsider.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PWInsider.com<\/a> reports that the company released McGuinness earlier this week. He served as the color commentator for NXT UK before WWE scrapped the show, and also played the same role on the NXT Level Up series.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> I&#8217;m a fan of McGuinness&#8217;s color commentary work and it&#8217;s a shame to see him released by the company as part of their broadcast team shakeup. It will be interesting to see if the company attempts to bring him back for the launch of the NXT Europe promotion next year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-12393934\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":57,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[1339,4645,4364,2198,101],"class_list":["post-118554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-nigel-mcguinness","tag-nxt-europe","tag-nxt-level-up","tag-nxt-uk","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
